Engineering Operations Lead

QuEra is seeking an Engineering Operations Lead to support day-to-day execution across software, hardware, test infrastructure, and QPU programs, helping make that work more predictable, visible, and efficient.

Reporting to the SVP of Engineering, this person will support the operating rhythm around engineering: planning meetings, cross-team dependency tracking, Jira and Confluence hygiene, release and integration coordination, operational metrics, and follow-up on decisions and action items. The role frees engineering leaders and senior technical staff to spend more time on architecture, technical decisions, team development, and delivery.

This is a hands-on individual-contributor role and a strong opportunity to learn how a complex hardware/software engineering organization operates. You will work closely with engineering and functional leaders, who remain accountable for priorities, staffing and resource allocation, architecture, technical acceptance criteria, technical risk acceptance, and release or machine go/no-go decisions. Your job is to keep the supporting structure running smoothly so those teams can work together effectively.

What you will do:

• Support engineering planning and execution
• Help run a consistent planning and review cadence across software, hardware, QPU programs, and test and engineering i
